Dolly wants the professor’s papers, but they’ve already been turned over to Dr. Manibusan’s next-of-kin.Jeri discovers the pattern of death and deception leads from the Bay Area’s Filipino-American community all the way back to the Philippines and World War II.After all, the past never dies. It’s just covered up.
